Reviews

this is a vibrant and compelling examination of the (religiously informed and shaped) government and politics of the English republic and of its charismatic leading figure, Oliver Cromwell. Peter Gaunt, Journal of Ecclesiastical History

`The essays have been carefully revised, a new introduction glues them together, and a meticulously comprehensive index makes for easy cross referencing. Much scholarship is paraded here ... insights and pithy verdicts abound. [Worden] writes in a gently argumentative way, engaging with other historians without being brutal or belittling.' R. C Richardson, Times Higher Education `a coherence that sheds so much light on Cromwell's reign that it dazzles ... quite simply indispensable.' Adrian Tinniswood, Literary Review `The resulting volume will of course be indispensable for fellow specialists; but it also offers a fine introduction, for the general reader, to some of the best modern historical thinking on the political and mental worlds of the Cromwellian era.' Noel Malcolm, Standpoint `It is a collection which deserves to be and will be ... treasured, and revisited for its salutary and important wisdom.' Professor Martyn Bennett, Reviews in History
